    Story Behind the Song
    This song was written in about 1 hour on 8th
    March 1998.I was motivated to write it after an evening playing guitars and catching up with my friend Glen Moffatt.I got talking about how my Dad used to get together with a couple of his mates and have a sing song, and that became the basis of my inspiration.

    Lyrics
    When I was just a boy,
    Back in 1965,
    I didn't realize,
    Just how much I was inspired.
    Johnny Ballard played his guitar.
    My dad he played his too,
    And long haired Dick
    Stomped his feet
    To that folky blues.

    They were good times.
    It was great to be alive.
    Listenin' to their music
    Made me feel so good inside.
    They were fun times
    And the memories have survived.
    Those guys got their kicks
    Back in 1965

    My dad sang me songs
    About Jesse James,
    The Big Rock Candy Mountain
    And The Blue Tail Fly.
    John and Paul sang songs
    About Yesterday
    And Mick and Kieth
    Weren't satisfied
    With their fortune and fame


    They were good times
    It was great to be alive (etc.)

    Instrumental

    Now I'm sitting here,
    Looking back in time
    And I realize
    Just how much I was inspired
    Those guys gave so much joy
    To that blue eyed little boy
    And all I wanna do
    Is say Thank You

    They were good times (etc. etc.)
    Looking
